DSP serves only two-thirds pound hamburgers and cheesebur gers in an old building located be hind Handy-Burger. “It used to be a house and then it was remodeled into a small restaur ant,” Bond says. He says that when he opened DSP on Feb. 5, 1976, he did nothing to the building but started cooking. DSP has no decorations and con tains only the bare essentials for eat ing. It consists mainly of nine tables covered with red and white chec kered gingham tablecloths and green plastic chairs. Bond said he will not remodel WHY STARVE IN YOUR ROOM?

He said the room will be ready Sept. 10 for the opening of football season. “I used to have ‘Sports Illus trated around for people, but I cut that out,” Bond said. “There’s still a pinball machine and foosball table. They don’t come to read.” Bond said he still buys “Sports Il lustrated” to read Dan Jenkins’ arti cles. He says'he named DSP after a book by Jenkins called “Dead Solid Perfect. The book is about a golfer attempting the “dead solid perfect’ shot. “I wanted something different for my restaurant,” Bond said. “I saw that book on the coffee table and thought about it. After people learn that name they won’t forget it.” Bond said he attended Stephen F. Austin College for three years and returned home wanting to open a restaurant. “I got the idea from a place in Dallas called Adair’s,” he said. “They have more room than we do, but they serve hamburgers, too.
